PREFACE. 


This  book  is  intended  either  for  students  who  have 
mastered  the  most  essential  elements  of  German  gram- 
mar, or  for  more  advanced  students  who  wish  to  begin 
easy  conversation.*  By  omitting  the  English-German 
exercises  the  book  can  likewise  be  used  by  beginners 
for  easy  reading  and  conversation. 

The  editor  suggests  that  the  stories  be  first  read 
aloud  by  the  teacher  in  the  class-room,  and,  in  case 
the  class  is  very  elementary,  translated  by  members  of 
the  class.  Then  so  studied  that  in  the  next  lesson  the 
answers  to  the  questions  can  be  given  by  the  student, 
who  should  of  course  be  encouraged  to  answer  in  full 
sentences.  A  written  translation  of  the  English  sen- 
tences will  give  the  student  some  necessary  drill  in 
grammatical  forms  and  help  to  impress  phrases  and 
idioms  on  his  mind.  If  desirable  the  answers  to  the 
questions  can  likewise  be  written.     These  questions  are 

*  The  editor  wishes  to  state  to  those  who  are  acquainted  with 
his  German  Composition  (D.  C.  Heath  &  Co.)  that  this  second 
book  is  written  to  precede  the  German  Composition.  It  can,  how- 
ever, also  be  used  later  to  furnish  materials  for  conversation.

by  no  means  exhaustive,  the  teacher  can  easily  add, 
alter,  or  improve  at  will. 

The  editor  feels  that  any  further  suggestions  on  the 
use  of  the  book  are  unnecessary  as  every  language 
teacher  has  his  or  her  own  ideas  and  methods.  The 
stories  selected  claim  no  originality,  but  rather,  in  many 
cases  at  least,  great  antiquity.  The  editor  has  how- 
ever endeavoured  to  preserve,  as  far  as  possible,  the 
language  of  everyday  life.  All  unusual  words  have 
been  avoided;  the  stories  are  not  descriptive  but  rather 
full  of  progressive  action  which  lends  itself  easily  to 
conversation.  The  exercises  increase  gradually  in 
length,  but  are  never  so  long  that  a  student  will  not 
be  able  to  retell  them.  The  retelling  of  the  anecdote 
will  be  found  to  be  excellent  practice  for  the  student, 
provided  that  mere  mechanical  learning-by-heart  is 
avoided. 

The  sentences  to  be  translated  from  English  into 
German  are  all  based  on  the  German  version.  An 
English-German  as  well  as  a  German-English  vocabu- 
lary is  given  at  the  back  of  the  book.  In  the  German- 
English  vocabulary  the  principal  parts  of  strong  verbs 
are  given.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  both  vocabularies 
will  be  found  complete,  for  no  trouble  has  been  spared 
to  make  them  so. 

The  introductory  remarks  relate  to  verb  position, 
separable  prefixes,  indirect  speech  and  prepositions,  but 


PREFACE  V 

are  in  nowise  meant  to  be  exhaustive,  for  further  details 
the  student  should  consult  his  grammar. 

The  orthography  of  Duden's  Orthographisches  Wor- 
terbuch,  seventh  edition,  1903,  has  been  followed. 

The  editor  takes  pleasure  in  thanking  Professor  E.  S. 
Joynes  of  the  University  of  South  Carolina  for  his 
kindly  criticism  and  for  many  helpful  suggestions.  For 
generous  and  invaluable  aid  in  reading  and  correcting 
the  whole  book  the  editor  is  indebted  to  Mr.  A.  A. 
Fischer  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Academy  of  Phila- 
delphia, whose  accurate  knowledge  and  practical  expe- 
rience has  always  been  at  his  disposal.

INTRODUCTION; 


POSITION  OF  THE  VERB. 

In  German  there  are  three  positions  of  the  finite 
verb"^  possible,  viz: 

I.     The  Normal  Order. 

In  the  normal  order  the  finite  verb  follows  imme- 
diately after  the  subject. 

dx  lauft  ba^  SSmi)  ^eute  in  ber  ®tabt. 
He  is  buying  the  book  in  town  to-day. 

dx  t)at  ba^  ^Uii}  geftern  ttt  ber  ®tabt  gefauft. 
He  bought  the  book  yesterday  in  town. 

(Sr  tDtrb  ba^  SSn^  morcjen  in  ber  @tabt  faufen. 
He  will  buy  the  book  tomorrow  in  town. 
The  normal  order  occurs  in  independent  clauses  which 
begin  with  the  subject. 

Notice  that  the  past  participle  (gefanft)  and  the  infini- 
tive (fanfen)  come  at  the  end  of  clause,  this  is  the  rule 
for  independent  clauses. 

II.     The  Inverted  Order. 

In  the  inverted  order  the  finite  verb  is  placed  before 
the  subject. 

*  Inflected  part  of  a  verb;  in  compound  tenses  the  auxiUary.

r^eute  fauft  er  ba^  SSud)  in  ber  ®tabt, 

<  !Da^  ^nd)  fauft  er  ^eute  in  ber  ©tabt.

©a^  Surf)  iDirb  er  morgen  in  ber  (gtabt  faufen. 
3n  ber  ®tabt  n)irb  er  morgen  ba^  ®u^  faufen, 
«.)   The  inverted  order  occurs  in  independent  clauses 
which  begin  with  some  word  or  phrase  not  the  subject*. 

From  the  three  groups  of  sentences  given  above  it  may  be  seen 
that  in  German  any  one  word  or  phrase  of  a  sentence  can  stand 
first  for  the  sake  of  emphasis.  Thus  emphasis  of  a  particular 
word  can  be  obtained  by  placing  it  first  in  the  sentence. 

The  inverted  order  also  occurs  (as  in  English)  : 
d.)   In  independent  interrogative  sentences: 

§at  er  ba^  ©uc^  geftern  gefauft? 

Did  he  buy  the  book  yesterday? 

c)  In  imperative  sentences: 

fiaufen  @ie  ba^  Surf)  morgen! 
Buy  the  book  tomorrow! 

d)  In  conditional  clauses: 

§atte  ic^  ba^  SSnd)  geftern  gefauft. 
Had  I  bought  the  book  yesterday. 

Notice  that  both  in  normal  and  inverted  order  the 
finite  verb  stands  second,   no  matter  whether  the  first 

*  Compare  with  the  English :  "Hardly  had  I  bought  the  book." 
"  Scarcely  had  he  seen  me." 


AND     COMPOSITION  11 

word  or  phrase  is  subject  or  not,  except  in  ^,  r,  and  d^ 
where  however  the  position  of  the  verb  is  the  same  as 
in  English. 

The  following  co-ordinating  conjunctions  or  general 
connectives  do  not  affect  the  position  of  the  verb: 
unb,  and.     abet,        but. 

benn,  for.     jonbern,  {used  only  after  a  negative) ^  hut, 
Ober,  or.        aHeitl,      {used  when  strong  contrast  is  im- 
plied)^ but,  however. 

@r  ^at  ba^  33ud^  ntd^t  gefauft,  benn  er  ^atte  fein  @elb. 
He  did  not  buy  the  book,  for  he  had  no  money. 

©ein  Sruber  ^at  ba^  :93ud)  gefauft,  aber  [eine  ®(^tt)e[ter 

l^at  e^  t)erIoren. 
His  brother  bought  the  book,  but  his  sister  lost  it. 

®er  3D?ann  ^at  ba^  ®elb,  aKetn  er  tt)itl  nti^t  beja^Ien. 
The  man  has  the  money,  however  he  will  not  pay. 

®er  ^nabe  ^at  fetne  ©(^ularbeit  ntc^t  gema^t,  fonbem  er 

l^at  gefptelt. 
The  boy  did  not  do  his  schoolwork  but  played. 

III.     The  Transposed  Order. 

In  the  transposed  order  the  finite  verb  is  placed  at 
the  end  of  a  dependent  clause. 

1.  311^  er  na(^  C^aufe  ging,  traf  er  [einen  greunb. 
When  he  was  going  home  he  met  his  friend. 

2.  ?fa(^bem  er  ba^  -33uc^  gefauft  ^atte^  ging  er  naif)  §aufe. 

After  he  had  bought  the  book  he  went  home. 

3.  ®er  Snabe  fagt,  ba^  er  ba^  Su(^  gefauft  ^abe. 
The  boy  says  that  he  has  bought  the  book. 


12  GERMAN     CONVERSATION 

4,  Qd)  iDeiB  ni^t,  ob  er  ba^  Su(^  faufen  n)irb. 
I  do  not  know  whether  he  will  buy  the  book. 

6»  ®er  ^nahc,  btn  @ie  geftem  fat)en,  ift  tnein  g-reunb. 
The  boy  whom  you  saw  yesterday  is  my  friend. 

The  transposed  order  occurs  only  in  subordinate  or 
dependent  clauses. 

If  the  main  clause  is  preceded  by  the  dependent 
clause  the  verb  of  the  main  clause  is  inverted  (compare 
I  and  2)*.  Notice  that  in  this  case  the  two  verbs  come 
together  separated  only  by  a  comma.  The  dependent 
clause  in  German  is  always  separated  from  the  main 
clause  by  a  comma. 

Dependent  clauses  are  introduced  by  relative  pro- 
nouns or  subordinating  conjunctions;  therefore  we  can 
say  the  verb  stands  final  after  the  following  subordinat- 
ing conjunctions : 


a(^  (used  of  past  time )^ 

je,  (with  the  compara- 

as, when. 

tive  of  an  adverb  or 

^^^  ^^'       \  as  if 

adjective),  the — . 

na(i)bem,  after. 

^^^^^^4  before. 

ob,  whether,  if. 

obgleii^,  although. 

bi^,  until. 

feit,  smce. 

ba,  {when  denoting 

iDeil,  because. 

cause),  as,  since. 

U)enn,  if,  whenever. 

batttit,  in  order  that. 

tDii^renb,  while. 

\^(X%  that. 

iDie,  as,  how. 

fafo,  in  case. 

\m,  where. 

inbetn,  while. 

tDann,  when. 

*  As  the  dependent  clause  may  be  regarded  as  one  phrase  the 
verb  of  the  main  clause  is  really  the  second  element  in  the  sen- 
tence, cf.  S3etm  9^ad)^oufege^en  traf  er  fctneu  greunb. 
sm  er  nac^  ^aufe  ging,  traf  er  feinen  ^^reunb. 


AND    COMPOSITION  13 

The  relative  pronouns  are: 

SINGULAR.  PLURAL. 

Norn,  ber,  bie,  ba^,  bie  or  njelc^e^ 

or  iDcIdier,  lt)el(^e,  tDclc^e^. 
Gen,  beffen,  beren,  beffeti-  beren, 

Dat  bem,  ber,  betn*  benen  or  h)elc^en. 

or  tDetc^etn,  tDeI(^er,  njeld^em. 
Ace,  ben,  bie,  ba^,  bie  or  hjelc^e. 

^r  tDeld^en,  tpeld^e,  meli^e^. 

The  pronouns  tt)er  (who)  and  tt)a^  (what)  are  used  as 
relatives  only  when  they  stand  for  antecedent  and  rela- 
tive combined,  or  relate  to  a  word  having  a  general  or 
indefinite  meaning,  as: 

Whoever  did  this  must  be  punished  =  SBev  ba^  getatt 
l^at,  muj3  beftraft  iDerben. 

All  that  I  have  is  yours  =  Sllle^,  tDa^  i^  ^abe,  ift  beitt. 

If  a  preposition  stands  before  a  relative  pronoun 
which  relates  to  an  inanimate  object,  a  compound  of  the 
preposition  with  lt)0  is  generally  used,  as: 

The  room  in  which  he  stood  =  !j)a^  3^^^^^/  tDOritl  er 
ftanb. 

Hence  the  verb  stands  final  after  such  compounds  as: 
iDoritt,  iDobur^,  iDomit,  iDorauf,  tDoran,  etc.,  if  they  intro- 
duce a  dependent  clause. 

Exceptions  to  final  Position  of  Verb  in  Dependent  Clauses. 

I.  In  dependent  clauses,  with  „ba^"  omitted,  the  verb 
stands  in  normal  order: 


14  GERMAN     CONVERSATION 

@r  fagte  mir,  er  ^dtte  ba^  53ud^  gefauft. 
He  told  me  he  had  bought  the  book. 

2.  In  conditional  sentences  without  conjunction  the 
verb  stands  first  as  in  English : 

^dtte  trf)  ba^  ^ui}  getauft,  fo  ij'dttt  id)  e^  au^  gelefen. 
Had  I  bought  the  book,  I  should  also  have  read  it. 

3.  When  in  a  dependent  clause  the  auxiliary  is  ac- 
companied by  two  or  more  infinitives  (real  or  seeming) 
the  auxiliary  stands  before  these  infinitives: 

SBetf  er  ba^  SSni)  ni^t  ^at  faufen  iDollen,  ijat  er  e^  ge- 
borgt. 

Because  he  did  not  want  to  buy  the  book  he  borrowed 
it. 

Changing  Main-clauses  into  Dependent  clauses. 

When  changing  main  into  dependent  clauses,  or  de- 
pendent into  main  clauses,  care  should  be  exercised  in 
the  change  of  position  of  verb : 

©eftem  Slbenb  fam  er  fpdt  nat^  §aufe  unb  ging  fofort 
au  «ett. 

Yesterday  evening  he  came  home  late  and  went  to 
bed  at  once. 

but: 

211^  er  geftern  Slknb  fpiit  tia^  §aufe  fam,  ging  er  fo* 
fort  ju  <93ett. 

When  he  came  home  late  last  night,  he  went  at 
once  to  bed. 


AND    COMPOSITION  15 

!t)a  ber  arme  Snabe  feitt  ®elb  I)atte,  fonnte  er  ba^ 
Su(^  nidjt  faufen* 

As  the  poor  boy  had  no  money,  he  could  not  buy 
the  book, 
but: 

J)er  artue  ^nabe  l^atte  Urn  ®e(b,  alfo  tonnte  er  ba^ 
SSni)  nic^t  taufen. 

The  poor  boy  had  no  money,  therefore  he  could 
not  buy  the  book. 

SEPARABLE  PREFIXES. 

The  prefix  of  a  separable  verb  separates  from  the 
verb  in  the  present  and  imperfect  tense,  and  in  the  im- 
perative (therefore  in  all  simple  tenses)  in  main  or  in- 
dependent clauses,  but  not  in  dependent  clauses.  In 
dependent  clauses  the  prefix  stands  before  the  verb  at 
the  end  of  the  clause,  verb  and  prefix  are  written  then 
as  one  word.  Especial  attention  should  be  given  to  this 
rule  when  changing  a  main  into  a  dependent  clause,  or 
a  dependent  into  a  main  clause,  thus: 

9)?etn  Sruber  ging  geftern  au^  unb  traf  fetnen  ^reunb. 
My  brother  went  out  yesterday  and  met  his  friend, 
but: 

311^  mein  -Sruber  geftern  au^ging,  traf  er  feineti  greunb. 
When  my   brother   went   out  yesterday,  he    met  his 
friend. 

SBetl  er  feitte  9lufgabe  abfi^rteb,  timrbe  er  beftraft. 
Because  he  copied  his  exercise,  he  was  punished. 

but: 
gr  fi^rieb  fetne  3Iufgabe  ab,  be^l)alb  trurbe  er  beftraft. 
He  copied  his  exercise,  therefore  he  was  punished.

16  GERMAN     CONVERSATION 

CHANGING  DIRECT  SPEECH  INTO  INDIRECT 
SPEECH. 

When  changing  direct  speech  into  indirect  speech  the 
following  rule  must  be  observed: 

The  tense  of  direct  statement  is  generally  retained, 
but  the  mood  is  changed  from  the  indicative  to  the  sub- 
junctive, thus: 

Direct  speech:  gr  fagte:  ^^c^  Kti  fran!,  tcf)  !ann  (eiber 
ntcf)t  fommen.^' 

He  said;   "I  am  ill,  unfortunately  I  cannot  come." 

Indirect  speech :  (gr  fagte,  er  f et  franf  unb  tonne  letber 
nic^t  fommen. 

He  said,  he  was  sick,  and  unfortunately  could  not 
come. 

Direct  speech:  ^c^  fagte:  ,,3cf)  bin  franf  gelrefen,  ba- 
mm  bin  id)  geftem  ju  §aufe  geblieben." 

I  said:  "I  was  ill,  therefore  I  remained  at  home  yes- 
terday." 

Indirect  speech:  ^^  fagte,  tcf)  fei  franf  genjefen,  ba^ 
rum  fei  \i)  geftem  5U  §aufe  gebtieben. 

In  the  spoken  language  the  imperfect  subjunctive  is 
very  often  substituted  for  the  present,  as  in  English;  es- 
pecially when  the  form  of  the  verb  in  the  present  indic- 
ative is  the  same  as  in  the  present  subjunctive : 

Direct  speech:  SBtr  fagten:  ,,2Bir  ^aben  fetn  ®elb  unb 
f5nnen  ntc^t  beja^Ien.^' 

We  said:  "We  have  no  money  and  cannot  pay." 


AND     COMPOSITION  17 

Indirect  speech:    Sit  fagtctt,  it)ir  l^atteti  leiti  ®elb  unb 
fdnnten  ntc^t  be3al)(en. 

We  said,  we  had  no  money  and  could  not  pay. 

PREPOSITIONS. 

The  following  rhymes  may  be  of  assistance  in  remem- 
bering the  case  or  cases  which  the  prepositions  govern: 

Accusative. 

Set  ben  SBortern :  bur(^,  fiir,  o^ne,  urn, 
fonber,  gegen,  iDiber

I.  The  cat  had  sworn  death  to  all  the  mice,  therefore 
there  was  great  distress  among  them.  2.  When  the 
mice  came  together  they  held  a  council.  3.  What  shall 
we  do  if  our  number  gets  smaller  every  day  ?  4.  If  we 
had  a  cat  the  mice  would  soon  disappear  from  our  house. 

5.  How  can   a   little  mouse  save  itself  from  a  big  cat  ? 

6.  "  Who  will  bell  the  cat/'  asked  the  old  mouse.  7. 
The  little  mouse  crept  away  quickly  before  the  old  cat 
saw  it.  8.  He  sat  down  on  a  chair^  and  looked  around 
boldly.  9.  You  have  advised  so  well,  therefore  you  may 
do  it  yourself.  10.  Up  to  the  present  day  he  has  not 
dared  to  do  what  he  advised  others  J  11.  The  assembly 
dispersed,  for  nobody  wanted  to  bell  the  cat.

must  pay  a  mark  and  help  pull  the  boat."  5.  This 
journeyman  was  a  very  merry  fellow.  6.  How  much

I.  The  emperor  Conrad  was  besieging  the  town  of 
Weinsberg  when  the  inhabitants  begged  that  the  women 
might  be  allowed  to  go  out  of  the  gate,  because  the 
famine  was  becoming  so  great  in  the  town.  2.  The 
town  was  being  besieged  by  the  emperor,  who  swore  to 
kill  the  inhabitants,  because  they  defended  themselves 
so  obstinately.  3.  The  poor  inhabitants  consented  to

him.  2.  Did  they  stay  there  over  night  ?  3.  Yes,  but 
they  went  away  at  once  the  next  morning.  4.  Because 
the  lazy  boy  thought  the  boots  would  get  dirty  again  at 
once,  he  did  not  polish  them.  5.  "  All  right,''  he  said, 
"  I  have  not  had  any  breakfast  yet,  but  it  does  not 
matter,  I  am  not  hungry."  6.  The  horses  were  ready, 
so  they  mounted  and  rode  away.  7.  I  rode  slowly 
reading  a  book,  and  my  servant  rode  along  behind  me. 
8.  I  was  thinking  of  you,  not  of  her.  9.  He  overtook 
me,  for  I  was  riding  slowly.  10.  Where  do  you  want  to 
go?  II.  What  does  he  mean  by  that?  12.  Can  you 
not  see  that  he  is  thinking  of  his  empty  stomach  and 
not  of  fasting  and  praying  ?  13.  Go  and  polish  my

I.  On  the  coast  stood  a  small  lighthouse  to  warn 
ships  of  a  rocky  cliff  which  was  very  dangerous  in 
storms.  2.  The  only  companion  of  the  lighthouse- 
keeper  was  a  little  dog.  3.  The  sky  is  getting  dark  and 
I  think  that  a  storm  is  rising  4.  What  are  you  think- 
ing of  ?  5.1  am  thinking  of  the  poor  sailors  who  are 
exposed  to  such  dangers  on  the  sea.  6.  The  storm  has 
risen,  the  waves  are  dashing  against  the  rocks,  but  it  is 
a  clear  night  and  the  light  of  the  lighthouse  is  to  be 
seen  far  out  over  the  sea.  7.  The  ships  would  be 
exposed  to  great  danger  if  they  had  not  the  lighthouses 
to  warn  them.     8.    Whilst  the  poor  man   was   running

quietly  lighting  the  lamp  in  the  lighthouse.  9.  It  would 
be  sure  death  to  go  to  sea  in  this  storm  in  an  open  boat.

I.  Minna  von  Barnhelm  is  a  comedy  written  by 
Lessing  about  the  year  1767.  2.  The  loyalty  of  the 
servant  to  his  master  is  very  great,  but  the  master  is 
very  good  to  ^  his  servant.  3.  When  he  was  going 
along  the  canal  he  heard  a  dog  whining,  and  although 
he  was  not  fond  of  dogs  he  pulled  the  poor  animal  out 
of  the  water.  4.  The  dog  was  so  grateful  that  he  ran 
after  him,  although  he  beat  and  kicked  him.  5.  When 
I  came  home  last  night  ^  I  found  a  large  poodle  lying  ^^ 
on  the  threshold.  6.  I  did  not  let  him  into  the  house, 
although  he  whined,  looked  at  me  and  wagged  his  tail, 
as  if  ^^  he  were  begging  me  to  let  him  in.  7.  The  dog 
obeys  nobody  but^^  me,  although  he  has  not  had  a  bit  of 
food  from  me.  8.  Do  not  touch  the  dog,  he  might  ^^ 
bite  you  !  9.  Although  the  dog  is  ugly  his  master  is 
very  fond  of  him,^*  for  he  is  a  clever  animal  and  per- 
forms his  tricks  without  being  told.  10.  I  am  not 
averse  to  dogs,  but  this  large  black  dog  is  really  too  ugly.

I.  Diisseldorf,  which  ^  lies  on  the  Rhine,  was  the 
native-city  of  Heinrich  Heine,  the  German  poet,*  who 
was  born  1797  and  died  in  Paris  1856.  2.  Heine  lies 
buried  in  Paris.  3.  In  "  Das  Buch  Le  Grand "  he 
writes  the  following  of  his  native-city.  4.  His  grand- 
father and  his  uncle  were  both  famous  doctors  and  his 
mother  often  said  of  them  that  she  wished  they  were 
still  alive.  5.  They  had  to  die,  for  although  they  could 
cure  others  they  could  not  cure  themselves.  6.  Because 
she  loved  the  fragrance  of  roses  in  her  lifetime,  a  rosebush 
is  growing  over  the  grave  where  she  lies  buried.  7. 
Heine  says  he  was  to  blame  that  little  Wilhelm  fell  into 
the  Diissel,  a  small  brook,  which  flows  through   Diissel-

of  the  water,  but  it  lived  still  for  a  long  time  and  became 
an  old  cat.  10.  When  he  climbed  down  on  the  board 
he  fell  into  the  brook.  11.  Who  was  to  blame?  12. 
Nobody  was  to  blame,  they  were  both  little  boys.  13. 
It  would  have  been  better  if  he  had  not  pulled  the  cat 
out  of  the  water.  14.  Yes,  better  for  him,  but  not  for 
the  cat!
